Leavenworth Library to host Birdfest Poster Contest art show

The Leavenworth Library will host an art show featuring the top 20 entries from the Birdfest Poster Contest from May 6 to June 13. Local students in kindergarten through eighth grade submitted original artwork representing bird species. The winning entry, selected from these submissions, will serve as the official poster for the annual Birdfest celebration. The exhibit offers an opportunity for visitors to appreciate the creativity of young artists and highlights the community’s connection to its natural surroundings. Open during library hours, the event promotes youth participation in the arts while raising awareness of bird conservation.

The Birdfest initiative encourages students to explore avian subjects, fostering a deeper understanding of the environment. This art show not only showcases local talent but also aims to inspire a culture of environmental stewardship among young people. Engaging the community in conservation efforts, the library reinforces its role as a hub for educational and cultural activities.
